Tracker-Only Text Connection to the North Pole

Greetings, Trackers!

North Pole Flight Command is pleased to announce a new feature for Santa Tracker elves only: your own private text connection to the North Pole.

Text is a growing communication medium for Santa Trackers. Since many of you track Santa on-the-go on Christmas Eve it isn’t always possible to send in reports from a phone. Text will allow you to communicate with the North Pole in a brief fashion.

Text also presents some opportunities for the North Pole to communicate with Santa Trackers as well. While most information will be conveyed by way of this website texting might be used by the North Pole on Christmas Eve if it is needed.

We remind you that we are still subject and will be complying with laws in all countries as it relates to communicating with minors online. We have many trackers elves under the age of 18 working for Santa. So texts cannot and will not be personalized when or if we send any out. But we can send texts to large groups of trackers and now run afoul of the law. Any texts we send out will be of this nature.

If you want to take advantage of this feature, please text the word TRACKER to 43506. You can control your access to this service via your phone after you sign up.

A word of warning: Tracking Santa is an event that runs for more than 35 hours. You MIGHT get texts at odd hours about where Santa is and what he might need.

If you have questions, please post them in the comments below.

Thank you trackers for all you do!
